Chapter 1743 Bet
"Well, I just can pass the examination. I'm capable and competent, and I dare to swear that I learn better than Xu Jiao. I will go to university based on my own abilities, so I'm different from all the people in your family! Do you think everyone wants to get in through the back door! How can there be so many back doors in this world," Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
"You think you can compare with my Jiao Jiao! Wake up from your dream! Did our Jiao Jiao study for so many years for nothing? If you're so capable, go to the same school as Jiao Jiao and compete with her to see who's better! If you can beat our Jiao Jiao, I'll take your surname!" Xu Ju said as she pointed at Qiao Mei.
Xu Ju did not believe that Qiao Mei could do better than Xu Jiao. Qiao Mei was illiterate, so how could she be able to pass the college entrance examination in such a short period of time? She would never believe that the Xia family did not do anything behind everyone's back.
"Aunt has arranged for me to start school after a few days. At Sixth High. If you want a competition, then let Xu Jiao come to the same school," Qiao Mei said.
Sixth High was the best high school in the entire capital. It had very good teachers and the standards were high. Many students who graduated from Sixth High went on to succeed in life.
Xu Jiao's current school was not a well-known one. Xu Ju had just chosen a random school that was close to her house and where the school fees were cheap. Sixth High's school fees were very high, but in order to look good, Xu Ju decided to transfer Xu Jiao there immediately.
"So be it! Who's afraid of you!" Xu Ju said.
"Mom! I don't want to leave my school!" Xu Jiao looked at Xu Ju aggrievedly.
She already knew her classmates well. If she left the school, she would need to get to know new classmates. She did not want to be all alone in the new school.
"You have no right to speak! Shut up!" Xu Ju said as she looked at Xu Jiao angrily.
"I just don't want to change schools!" Xu Jiao said agitatedly.
Xu Ju went forward and gave Xu Jiao a slap. She said angrily, "This is not up to you! If you don't shut up, I'll beat you until you listen!"
Xia Wen really could not stand it anymore. He stopped Xu Ju and said, "She'll listen to you and won't cause trouble anymore. Eldest Aunt, don't hit her anymore."
Xu Ju glared at Xia Wen. They were in the Xia family's territory now, so she had to give in to Xia Wen. Xu Ju turned around and sat down on the sofa. She looked at Qiao Mei and suddenly had an idea. This was the best time to set her plan in motion!
"How about this, let's have a bet! I bet that you definitely won't be able to do better than our Jiao Jiao in the college entrance examination. How about it? Do you dare to bet with me?" Xu Ju said confidently.
"Why not, but I wonder what Eldest Aunt wants from me? Is it my house or my money or my factory?" Qiao Mei looked at Xu Ju mockingly.
Xu Ju was a greedy person. She had mentioned to Xu Lan more than once that she wanted Qiao Mei to give up the courtyard house to the Xu family, so that the Xu family could settle down in the capital. Xu Lan had always rejected her request and kept it a secret from her family. She did not expect Xia Mao to find out about it at some point.
Xia Mao almost fell out with the Xu family over this. In the end, Xu Ju had to give up on the idea of moving into Qiao Mei's house. Qiao Mei and the others did not know about this matter at all.
However, it was not difficult to hear about this matter. Yao Nian had already told Qiao Mei all the details about the Xu family. Therefore, Qiao Mei knew what Xu Ju was thinking.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Little girl, be careful that I don't rip out your tongue!" After saying that, Xu Ju realized that the Xia family members did not look too happy by now. She continued, "It's also because you're Xia Zhe's wife. Otherwise, I would have hit you long ago."
The polite smiles that Xu Lan and Xia Wen had on their faces had already disappeared. They could accept Xu Ju scolding them, but they could not stand Xu Ju treating Qiao Mei like this.
"Enough. Tell me, how do you want to bet?" Qiao Mei asked.
"I already told you. If you don't score as high as my Jiao Jiao in the college entrance examination, then you have to give our family a house!" Xu Ju said proudly.
"Eldest Aunt, don't just state your conditions. You also have to say what your family will give me if I win, don't you? It can't be that you get a house if I lose, but if you lose, you just need to say that you're sorry and the matter is over," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
